Managing your family's cover
No matter what your family looks like, it’s important to have peace of mind that the whole family is taken care of.
Planning for a baby?
There’s so much to plan for when you’re having a baby so, if possible, it’s recommended that you get your health cover in order well before you think about conceiving. This will help to minimise any stress, as well as any out-of-pocket expenses.
Check your current hospital cover
You’ll need check whether your hospital cover includes pregnancy and birth services, as you may need to upgrade your membership before becoming pregnant. This is because pregnancy and birth services carry a 12-month waiting period.
Upgrade to a family cover
Upgrading to a family cover will ensure you/your partner and your baby are covered.
Are you an overseas visitor?
For overseas visitors who are eligible for RHCA benefits, adding your newborn in a timely manner is encouraged for tax-related purposes, such as the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS). Contact us if your baby has a different residency or Medicare eligibility status than you do.
